The Signature Super sessions are sure to have something for every taste (except lunch…) with eleven different topics to choose from. Be careful, though, as each class is only taught once.
There are (almost) 4 classes a day - Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Monday is 1 class shy of this; aside from the once daily general, and lunch Signature Sessions, Monday has three classes to consider: the first is ‘Constant Cravings - Using OTT to Win the Next Generation of Viewers’ in this session, the attendees learn about the restructuring of old paradigms to help media adjust to such previously unforeseen trends and realities in the internet today.
Media must adapt to ‘Over The Top’ content and learn to monetize and add value where they may. The main trends examined will be OTT and Alternative Content Platforms, and Sessions on Demand. Monday’s second super session will be the Avid presentation: ‘A Conversation with Morgan Spurlock’ The award winning director, producer, and writer Morgan Spurlock will be available, if you have anything to say to him this would be the time to do it. The class that rounds out Monday’s Super Sessions is ‘Social Media and the Business of Live Television’ - best practices to match the current trends will be examined.
Methods to secure both a larger audience and to insure the ideal forms of advertising for this medium will be examined. A panel of Industry experts: Bruce Gersh (Executive Vice President & Head of Digital, Strategy and Branded Entertainment, ITV Studios America), Perkins Miller (Chief Digital Officer National Football League), and David Wertheimer (President, Digital Fox Broadcasting Company), will be moderated by Josh Dickey (Entertainment Editor, Mashable).
The Signature Super sessions for Tuesday and Wednesday present attendees with a cavalcade of engaging subjects. Tuesday sessions include the subjects: ‘Television's Transition to an All-IP
Future - Why it’s a Big Deal,’ ‘Cisco Presents: From Capture to Consumer: How New Content Dynamics are Affecting Broadcast Infrastructures,’ ‘Hollywood Preview: The Next Generation of Consumer Experiences is NOW,’ and every upper-exec’s favorite: ‘Producing and Monetizing Content on a Global Scale.’ Wednesday’s sessions include: ‘Broadband and the Internet of Things: Realities and Myths,’ ‘Ericsson Presents: TV 2020 in the Networked Society,’ ‘Protecting our Assets: Cybersecurity and the Media,’ and ‘Achieving Advertising Agility.’
With such a broad array of media driven subject matter to choose from, there’s sure to be something for every would-be student, ranging from the merely curious all the way to top management.
